EAT

Bosie is a tea parlor for the West Village set. Rejecting the typical frou-frou parlor aesthetic of frills and quaint bric-a-brac, owner (and certified Tea Master) Kiley Holliday goes for a more pared-down and open feel, with bare tables and enough shelf space for the 80 loose-leaf teas on offer. And even though Bosie doesn’t dress itself in the old-school garb, old-school favorites, like the tea service tray, are on hand. Pastry Chef Damien Herrgott, who’s worked in Paris, Italy, and lately at Bouley Bakery in New York, keeps the service sophisticated and fresh, with classic French pastries and tea sandwiches to accompany more complex (and often tea-infused) sweets like his Darjeeling torte and chamomile-infused strawberry éclair.
